Additions include a 3 mm X-ray beam and a combined dual optical filter. New Wave Research launched the U193-FX, a 193 nm, short-pulse excimer laser ablation system for ICP-MS. Elvatec introduced the ElvaX mini ED-XRF alloy […]
PANalytical became the exclusive representative of OBLF GmbH’s optical atomic emission spectrometers in North America. PANalytical acquired the rights to the Wilis & Duncan course on advanced X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis. Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (SSI), Shimadzu’s US subsidiary, assumed control of the sales, service and support for Shimadzu subsidiary Kratos Analytical’s X-ray spectrometer business in […]
Total reflectance X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (TXRF) is a variation on the standard X-ray fluorescence technique. In both methods, the sample is irradiated with X-rays. The high energy of the X-ray photons is sufficient to knock out electrons from the inner electron shells of the atoms in the sample. As outer electrons make quantum transitions into […]
Atomic Spectroscopy Bruker AXS also unveiled some important x-ray components, such as the XFlash SDD detector that is now standard on the S2 Ranger and the new version of the MicroStar x-ray source. The MicroStar Ultra can provide a flux of 80 billion x-rays per square millimeter per second, similar to the performance of some […]
Atomic Spectroscopy Bruker AXS, following the acquisition of Quantron (see IBO 9/15/06), released “Brukerized” versions of Quantron’s arc-spark instruments around the first of the year. The Q6 Columbus is a laboratory system, as is the Q8 Magellan, which is priced at about $65,000. The Q8 Coronado (based on the Magellan) is an automated system for […]
